Phase 1

Tainable Lab Demonstration Site

McMinnville, Oregon

​

​In July 2025, Habitat Energy broke ground on its first demonstration facility in McMinnville, Oregon. The site was deliberately chosen as a greenfield location, ensuring the project yields the technical, logistical, and permitting lessons needed for rapid replication at similar rural sites across the region.​​

 

Facility Snapshot:

• Structure: 100 ft long × 30 ft wide × 28 ft tall

• Reactor Systems: Two independent 18,000-gallon systems (14 ft height)

• Biofilter: 15,000 gallons of integrated capacity

• Project Scale: 1/6 the size of a full commercial facility

• Lease Term: 10-year site lease through Tainable Labs

• This first facility will produce on-spec liquid fertilizers (with a goal of OMRI listing), bagged soil amendments, and renewable energy products.

​

​​Its modular, greenhouse-based approach enables fast deployment, agricultural-scale permitting, and construction timelines far shorter than traditional biogas infrastructure.
